SMART METERS AND BT SPORTS

So everyone is supposed to have a smart meter by 2020, or the end of, for nearly a year now I have been waiting to be informed that they can provide me with a smart meter, well last week I got an email saying I could upgrade to one.
The thing is that although the GAS METER is outside the ELECTRIC METER is inside in a cabinet behind 2 sliding doors and it says that if access is restricted to call them. I am not going to call them, instead I am not going to bother I will continue to send in meter readings as and when,  I don't mind doing this even though others I know, my mother been one, saying I should have it installed. But to be honest I got my utility bills down to less than £10 a week for both, and I intend to get them down more.
The utility company will have to knock on my door whenever they decide to do them as they are going to get no help from me. I am fully prepared to submit readings to them every few months and continue to do so, my eyes maybe getting a bit old but I can still send them the readings on the phone app.

Now BT SPORTS they have just informed me that unless I renew for 18 months they will charge me £5 a month for their sports channels. And as they have got the Euro stuff as well that leaves BT, along with sky holding just about all the sports rights for football in the UK, but as I have said regardless of been a customer of theirs if they start to charge for watching they can whistle I will move Broadband provider, even if I have some months left on my yearly subscription to the line rental (12 months for the price of 10) I will even buy the son a SMART TV and cancel the TV license. They won't get through the door if they turn up, I subscribe to NETFLIX but will subscribe to other services as well to get the best of all.
I did the 18month renewal but if they ever want payment for sports then it either goes or I change my provider.
